Talonbooks publishes work of significant literary and/or cultural importance by Canadian authors. We invite submissions of drama, criticism, history, cultural studies, and fiction. BEFORE submitting a manuscript to us for consideration, consult our list of previously published titles to determine if your work is suitable.

Drama: the play must have had at least one professional production prior to submission.

Submissions must be in English.

Please include: SASE, author bio, publishing history, curriculum vitae, synopsis of the submitted work, and 3–5 sample pages (with the exception of drama; if you are submitting a play, please include the full script).

Due to the volume of submissions, we regret we cannot provide detailed editorial comments on manuscripts.
